2006 Ford Crown Victoria Questions & Answers

Is the red light in the center of the dash , on top of dash panel not instrument cluster flashing when trying to crank the engine over ? If yes you have a anti theft system problem ! If the light is not flashing you can check for power an ground an PCM control at the starter relay in the under hood battery junction box ! Bottom of relay or side show pin numbers ! Pin's 30 & 86 should have battery voltage ! Pin 87 - ground through the starter , Pin 85 should have nothing unless cranking engine over . The PCM supply's a ground here energizing the starter relay ! You can also test this by using a test light . The clamp end to battery positive , the point end touch to pin 85 relay socket while cranking ! Test light should light !

Has anyone bothered to scan the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) or the GEM (General Electronic Module) to see if there are any fault codes? Does the engine run OK when this happens? I had a Grand Marquis that was doing something similar and the modules had several U-codes. Finally found the problem in the Transmission Range Sensor - it was shorting out the data line.

Your antenna is built into the rear window. You should be able to see the connection in the upper part of the trunk under the back window. If it isn't loose there, I suspect your antenna wire has come loose from the rear of your radio, or else the antenna wire is damaged somewhere in between the radio and the rear window. You'll have to pull it out and inspect it.

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes, torque settings etc are basic contents of these online books they have here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out

My wife had a car 06 cobalt which the electric motor on power assist steering quit running, AC seemed to not put out and issues with the lights. The dealer wanted over 400 dollars to repair. She drove it home to let me try to figure it out. A couple days later the car would not crank so I replaced the battery and all the problems were gone. If the check engine light is not giving you a code to help I would suggest load test battery(a battery can have good voltage but volt drop can indicate it is going bad) and check alternator output.

It's probably a battery problem. Even if it starts once, it might not start again, so you're still left with the same problem. Either take the battery to be tested, or find someone with a "battery charger/starter" who can hook up and give you enough voltage to boost it to life. Good luck.

There is a linkage between the ignition and the shifter that seems to have disconnected or broke. When you turn the key to the on position it unlocks the shifter in the column, remove the plastic cosmetics around the ignition and you can work the key back and forth and see the rod going up and down. If not, then replace.

There are multiple speed sensors in the transmission. I assume you're referring to the vehicle speed sensor which is also known as the output shaft speed sensor which is located in the tailshaft housing.

I can't say 100% on this but some vehicles still use vacuum to operate the blend air doors (electric solenoids or earlier cable to operate the tempature door).
You may have a vacuum issue and defrost would be the default position because you need your winshield clear more than heat on your face or feet.
Start at the intake manifold and follow your vacuum source.

having problem with link but is located on drivers side tailshaft of transmission ==about $20.00 measures speed of vehicle and the information is sent to speedometer -abs ,to the computer so vehicle can adjust accordingly fuel/air etc
